Reports continue to emerge of the mounting Chinese military presence in Tibet. Hundreds of paramilitary troops aboard at least 80 trucks were seen traveling along the main road in southeastern Tibet. Others set up camp and patrolled streets in riot gear, helmets and rifles in the town of Tiger Leaping Gorge, in Yunnan Province.

 

In Lhasa, troops and security forces patrolled the city searching houses for protesters and arresting an estimated two dozen. Police have issued wanted orders for 19 people allegedly involved in the unrest and have publicized their images.

 

Xinhua reported 183 demonstrators had turned themselves into police in Lhasa.

 

Prominent Tibetan writer, Woeser, and her Chinese husband Wang Lixiong, are under house arrest in Beijing. They have been under house arrest since the beginning of protests in Tibet.
